{"product_id":"military-strategy-joint-operations-and-airpower-an-introduction","title":"Military Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower: An Introduction","description":"An essential introduction to contemporary strategy at the operational level of war, now in its second edition\n\nMilitary Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower introduces contemporary strategy at the operational level of war, particularly as it relates to airpower. Developed as foundational reading for all US Air Force Academy cadets, Air Force ROTC students, and Officer Training School candidates, this intermediate textbook is designed to close the gap between military theory and practice. It covers strategic foundations; operational design and joint-service operations; the air, space, and cyber capabilities that comprise modern airpower; and contemporary challenges in the application of strategy.\n\nIn this second edition, each chapter has been updated and revised, and several sections have been expanded. Part 2, “Military Forces and the Joint Fight,” now features separate chapters about each service. Similarly, operational design is expanded from one to four chapters to provide a more thorough step-by-step guide through the process. New chapters in this second edition include “Integrating the Instruments of Power,” “The Spectrum of Conflict and Range of Military Operations,” and “The Nuclear Weapons Triad and Missile Defense.”\n\nMilitary Strategy, Joint Operations, and Airpower’s contributing authors and editors include both military practitioners and scholars of security studies, political science, and history. In addition to being required reading for US Air Force cadets, the book provides an essential overview of strategy and practice for anyone interested in modern airpower.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1647122503\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1647122503.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Burke, Ryan|Fowler, Michael|Matisek, Jahara|Swaim, Thomas|Ulrich, Marybeth|Grotelueschen, Mark E.|Gilbert, Danielle|Bezerra, Paul|Hunter, Kyleanne|Venable, Heather|Holmes, James R.|Jayamaha, Buddhika|Martindale, Michael|Drohan, Brian|McPhilamy, Jon|Mercado, Frances V.|Dressler, Judson C.|Farquhar, John T.|Grant, Robert|Davitch, James\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
